Communion Weekend Retreat

with Schuyler Grant & Jeff Krasno

Topanga, CA // October 6-8, 2023

Fall is the season for accepting impermanence, letting go, and balancing the universal energies of light and dark. It is a perfect time to join Jeff Krasno and Schuyler Grant for an intimate weekend designed to bring your own life into greater balance: sweaty yoga, thoughtful discussions, scrumptious food, and nighttime storytelling.

Schuyler's classes blend challenging and introspective modalities to hone your physiological strength and flexibility. Jeff, host of the Commune podcast, will share tools for holistic health and treat you to fireside readings of his favorite Commusings essays. Throughout it all, the Commune Topanga chef will delight with farm-sourced, nourishing fare.

Our Playground

At the end of the end of the end of a road, perched atop a remote valley of the Santa Monica mountains, sits Topanga Commune: 10 acres of meandering paths, oak trees, palms and gardens abutting state land. You won’t believe you are less than an hour from the heart of LA.

The property has a main house, a guest house, four tea house private rooms, three sweet A-Frame cabins, and plenty of space for camping. Sleep on organic mattresses and linens and enjoy the bounty of LA’s best local farmers for every home-cooked meal.

The property also has a sauna, hot tub, plunge pool, basketball, badminton, and a plethora of hammocks.

Songwriter Neil Young lived on this property for many years and was deeply inspired by this magical spot. If there is anywhere in the world to find “a heart of gold,” it may be here.
